***Official*** 10,000 people in Goffstown NH Jan 6th thread

[ItsTime]

The grassroots plan in New Hampshire is pretty simple. Get as many bodies and cars into the little town of Goffstown New Hampshire before/during/after the Fox Forum. The goal is small only 10,000 people. This more of a PRO RON PAUL rally rather than an anti-fox rally.

Plans will morph with when the official campaign makes a statement about where their rally is going to take place.

If you want to show up a day early to go Door to Door visit this thread as well:

You can also contact the Ron Paul New Hampshire HeadQuarters to help in other areas of New Hampshire and/or phonebank.

We will start at the Liberty Forum in Nashua then make our way to the Goffstown location when the campaign announces it.

note TIME CHANGE: 1/6 12 noon. Be there a bit earlier to find parking and such! The campaign moved up his Liberty Forum Speech.
Ron Paul will be speaking at the Liberty Forum http://freestateproject.org/libertyforum

tomorrow i am trying to find a cheap train/plane ticket.

This is more important...but i already bought my ticket for the debate on the 10th...so trying to come up with the funds!

 

[Perry]

This is crucial. I hope everyone goes all out. Every time we counter punch it must trump the original blow.

 

[faisal]

I just wanted to remind you guys that Ralph Nadar had about 4,000-5,000 people in his rally when he was excluded from a debate. We should at least match his number.

 

[ItsTime]

We should have that at the low side.

[hotbrownsauce]

I would if I could. Someone take my place please!

 

[ItsTime]

thanks for the key info people!

 

[damon04]

I would if I could get a ride... Anyone coming through Nashville, TN???

 

[liberty_Forever]

Someone needs to start a ride-coordinating site.

Any takers?

 

[ItsTime]

I suggest contacting your local meet ups. Right now too many of the other campaigns would pay people to pretend to be Ron Paul supporters promising rides and such. Then not doing it.

That is why there is no official site for this either. Too many people would make false pledges and but the numbers out of wack.

So please contact your local meet up groups for rides.

Skybus has flights from Columbus OH to Portsmouth for $35 one way January 5th and 6th (early AM flights) - they're a new airline with a very limited network (other cities served include KC, Milwaukee, Chattanooga, New Orleans/Biloxi). www.skybus.com

 

[nimo]

I will apologise for this ahead of time.

Son of Bitch! Now ABC is joining Fox's parade of censorship.

Fuck you both! Now I have to go to NH for the rally.

I can't believe this country is now heading towards communist rule!

 

[ItsTime]

how about to Manchester? Manchester is really close to Goffstown

Skybus has flights from Columbus OH to Portsmouth for $35 one way this week - they're a new airline with a very limited network (other cities served include KC, Milwaukee, Chattanooga, New Orleans/Biloxi). www.skybus.com

 

[Andrew-Austin]

Hopefully the weather up there permits this to be.

 

[Menthol Patch]

The rally won't give us 10% as much publicity as being in the forum!

The fact of the matter is the media will marginalize it and will barely cover it at all!

Such a rally would be FUN to go to and would be EXCITING! But would it do very little to spread the word to new supporters nation wide. It simply CANNOT compete with an HOUR AND A HALF forum on prime time television!

I dont think those flights start until the 15th

Btw, I just got off the phone with Vijay. We both want to wait to hear what the campaign tells us what they suggest we do (at least for another day or two). However, regardless of what happens, it would be beneficial to have people in or around New Hampshire on Dec. 6. We're not trying to organize a counter-rally yet, but it may happen, and regardless of that, Ron Paul will be speaking at the NH Liberty Forum (hosted by the Free State project) and many people will be there for that. If we all decide to do a rally outside of the Fox News Forum, we may be able to arrange a caravan from FSP event.

Point is: go ahead and arrange travel to New Hampshire!

Worst case scenario, you'll get to see Ron Paul at the FSP event. Best case scenario, you'll get to participate in a HUGE counter-rally or some other huge event.

unless we could get on FOX when the forum is going on (hint, hint)
